FCX
World's first fuel cell car. Runs on electricity. Environment friendly
automobile. Honda came up with the world's first fuel cell passenger car in
December 2002. Using electricity generated by a chemical reaction between
hydrogen and oxygen as fuel, the vehicle emits only water as exhaust.Honda is
already on the verge of large-scale commercialization of fuel cell vehicles.
Honda's environmentally friendly vehicle, the FCX, is the first fuel-cell car
to be government certified for everyday use. The FCX is propelled by
electricity and its only emission, remarkably, is water vapor. With a fresh
stamp of approval from the Environmental Protection Agency and the California
Air
Resources Board, Honda is already delivering FCX fuel-cell vehicles to its
first customer, the city of Los Angeles.

starts right at the development stage and continues up to the disposal stage.

parts.

reduce the CO2 level. The company is also planting trees in and around its
premises to check pollution in order to work in harmony with nature.
